  6. JUST FOUND THIS ON LINE..! :thumbs: British hauliers have complained for years that while they pay to use roads on the continent their European counterparts enjoy free passage on UK carriageways. The system will see a new annual charge introduced for all trucks driving on British roads. UK drivers will also pay the levy, but it will be offset by a corresponding road tax cut that will ensure British hauliers will be no worse off. Patrick McLoughlin, the recently-appointed Transport Secretary, said the new levy “will deliver a vital shot in the arm to the UK haulage industryâ€. It will also raise up to £23.2million a year for the Exchequer, according to estimates by the Department for Transport. Mr McLoughlin said: “By introducing charges we will create a level playing field, increasing UK competitiveness and boosting growth. “It is simply not right that foreign lorries do not pay to use our roads, when our trucks invariably have to fork out when travelling to the continent.†It is estimated that foreign-registered lorries make 1.5million trips a year on British roads.
  7. According to Sky News floods in Whitehaven, and Cumbria coast, now heading down towards the Norfolk and Essex coast. .
  8. Ah.....so when you go on an epic road trip to Europe I assume you are going to volunterily pay the road tax pro-rata for whatever countries you visit...... Do you normally take a truck with you on a road trip..I agree UK hauliers should also pay towards European road use but in fact they do its called Road Tolls, which we have very few of.. :scare:

  10. At 112 MPH you'll still loose your licence..!! But BBK is right an uprev is more beneficial if you do the mods first ..!
  11. Yes Alex is braking a few cars at the moment a good bet he can supply them.
  12. Just been reading that overseas lorry drivers / haulers DON'T contribute anything to our road tax or indeed pay anything to drive on our roads maybe a good time to put a end to this freebee once and for all...!!!! :angry:
  13. Lovely Zed, what do you have in mind to do. ?..
  14. Great thread, lovely Zed.
  15. :lol:
  16. On private good. Mine was about £5500 for an '04 UK GT, should be about £6500 IMO. Will, did you enter yours as a late 05 or an 06 facelift? Put it in as a 06 pre facelift, as its April 06 on an 06 plate. Gave you the option of 05 or 06.
  17. To much downforce on the rear end, need's DRS.. :lol:

  19. Bet this song stays in your head all day..!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X-JokX06wDM
  20. Mine was pretty spot on. maybe £300 under valued.
  21. Welcome to the Land of Zed... Plenty of advice on here.
  22. Just another computer system to go wrong..! I agree road tax should be added to fuel duty then everybody will pay it depending on your road use fairer to everybody. I think they should also do something POSITIVE about uninsured drivers as well, if your choice is to pay £800 insurance or pay a £100 fine and 3 points, thats a no brainer..!!! :scare:
  23. Thanks Humpy.
